I am 6 1/2 months pregnant and my boyfriend has left me.. He has a lot going on at the minute and I understand that, I just want to know if this is only a break until he gets his head sorted or is this is for good, I'm trying so hard not to stress out but he never leaves my mind and he won't talk to me :(

He's not much of a man if he leaves you when you are 6 1/2 months pregnant. This time of your relationship is where it really counts, and when you need him the most. If he's left you, what makes you think he'd be inclined to come home when there is a baby added to the mix.

It is also not a time for him to 'have space' or 'take a break'. The birth of a baby into a relationship coming in about 10 weeks is where you put your own needs aside, and help your partner prepare.

While he's 'getting his head sorted' as you say, you don't have the same luxury. Life is hard with a baby, and being single, let alone with a man who isn't stepping up to the plate.

I would not put a lot of faith in him coming back. It doesn't seem that it was hard for him to leave, but it is much, much harder for him to come back and face the difficult future immediately ahead, that he helped create.

I think you will have to find help and support from your friends and family at this time, and likely into the foreseeable future.

So many guys make the babies and then don't want to handle the responsibility. He can run but don't let him hide from his responsibility. Make sure he pays child support even if he never gets himself together enough to get back in your life. Hopefully he will come back before the baby is born.
